of either the XC bumper or the Bullhorn bumper but I would like to see each one mounted if possible. Anyone have pics available?

I have yet to see many bull horns. Im partially wondering if it is the fact that with the bull horn you dont bend the bumper. You bend your frame. Just thought i would inform you on that fact about the bullhorns. I just hope i dont hit anything with mine.

How is the design of the bullhorn that much different where it would cause frame damage if hit?

Thank you lilyamaharacer4. It now has Flexx Bars and Hipers. And when it comes out next year it will have PEP 8 Click big bottle piggybacks on the front and a revavled and resprung PEP rear with a GT Thunder link

The Bullhorn is a much heavier bumper and could tweak a frame before the bumper bends. But I feel if you hit something too hard its not gonna matter you'll bend the frame and the bumper both.

Or you might just shear the bolts off before it bends.

No I am using these and getting the big bottles with clamps put on this winter. the rear will still be a small can rear since I just had GT Thunder do it.

Any black bumper will last long and hold up well as long as its powdercoated. If your doing mx only though the painted ones would be fine too.

here you go. i liked this one a lot.

The bull horn is too string, if your frame breaks before the bumper you got a problem.

However i landed a double and hit another quad ond the landing ramp at about 45mph and my bumper folded up like a tin can. Frame was good though.

Pappy does a flawless job. The bumper is 8 months old and looks as good as the day I installed it. I even tie the quad down by the front bumper. The powder coating is tough as nails.

I have heard that from alot of people, and it will shear off the bolts before it will tweak the frame. If you hit anything hard enough it will bend the frame..
